Silverchair is a crappy band and they have always been a crappy band and too start things off the way the lead singer sounds is horrible. He has always had a very annoying voice and it sounded scratchy in m opinion and he never sounded good whether it was …

“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …

After two years of waiting Disturbed has finally released their third album. Anyone who has heard the single “Stricken” should indeed know that this album “rocks”, and by “rocks” I mean it “rocks” hard. From the the first track “Ten thousand Fists” to the end you can …
